This paper continues our investigation of backward continued fractions, associated with the generalized Renyi maps on [0,1). We first show that the dynamics of the shift map on a specific class of shift invariant spaces of nonnegative integer sequences exactly models the maps Tu for u € (0,4). In the second part we construct a new family of explicit invariant measures for certain values of the parameter u.
